Issues surrounding Identity 2.0

Here is, for your viewing pleasure, a mind map I was working on Tuesday afternoon for my Identity 2.0 research essay.  There’s a lot in this mind map, but I thought people might just appreciate taking a look at it.  Now for some indexable data, here’s a breakdown of the main points on the graph:

• The 7 Laws of Identity + Privacy =
  • The privacy-embedded laws of identity
    • More direct control of data
    • Information minimization
    • Detect fraud
    • Separation of digital identities
• Types of identity systems
  • Invisible
  • Proprietary
  • URL Based
  • Card Based
  • Centricity
    • Enterprise centric
    • Federated
      • Hybrid of Enterprise/User
    • User centric
      • User in control
• Identity Technologies
  • Identity Meta system
    • Portfolio of identities
    • Will connect together separate systems
  • Shibboleth, SAML, .netPassport, CardSpace, LID, OpenID
• Why?
  • Social/Writable web
  • User needs
  • Business needs
  • Entrepreneurial opportunities
• Technologies
  • Today’s systems:
    • Siloed
    • Identifiable data
    • Identity “One-offs”
  • Open standards
    • XMPP, RSS, OAuth, APML, OpenID, OPML
• Groups
  • Companies
    • Digg, Facebook, Yahoo!, Plaxo, Microsoft, MySpace, Linkedin, Google, Six Apart
  • Hackers
    • Data Portability
    • DiSo
    • Autonomo.us
      • Franklin Street Statement

These are basically the tree branches, but there’s some more useful information to be found in the mindmap near the ends. I hope this has been somewhat helpful.
